ive started of the new year in the worst way possible!


i was coming round a slight bend on the narrow bit of a road near me, i was only doing around 10 ish when a on coming car made me touch the breaks and the car hit the barrier!! gutted!!

back in work on saturday ive got to some how sort the headlight by then....i need to lie down!!!

[Andy H]

Oops.

Wings bolt on, bonnet bolts on (obviously), front bumpers & lights easily swappable.

If you can find somewone breaking a facelift with the same colour code as you then life shouldn't be too difficult.

In the short term you need a new or used headlight and need to make sure there are no sharp edges to impale padestrians on.

[Ken L]

Sad!   Hope you get it sorted ok.

[amba]

Sorry to see that damage on your car,this weather has a lot to answer for ....and it looks like more snow to come !!

not a hid light so if yours is self levelling it will be elite which means you need a hid light. no good if i read it correctly?

[Andy H]

Have you found the paint code http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1222004989 ?

Might be worth finding the code and doing a search of the parts for sale section using the code as a search string.

[spacekid2009]

Sorry to see you fell victim of the weather, i do bodywork repairs and live in Cheadle, if you need any help with anything let me know.

[Lizzie_Zoom]

That is bad luck, but I suspect very many are experiencing the same!!

Hope you can get it sorted quickly

[spacekid2009]

Just looked at your car again, the bumper will repair

[Shackeng]

Really sorry Fudy, I hope you get it sorted OK. There but for the grace etc..... Positive side hopefully no-one was injured.

Best wishes

i will check the paint code tommorow im too drunk to do anything now, drowning sorrows and all that.!

anyone know some ballpark figures for parts needed? ive spotted a wing for £55 but its a pattern part!

[Welung666]

I've got a gold front bumper if you're stuck, cheap too. Also may have a N/S headlight with a broken adjuster if you're really stuck, just as a sto-gap

As for the headlight not being HID, that's simply a case of swopping the bulb, self levelling unit and ballast pack to the replacement.

[pedroMV6]

Gutted for ya mate - not nice.

Hope you get it sorted soon!

[PhilRich]

Commiserations mate, there will be more of us joining you before this weather sods off I bet!

[Agemo]

In a few weeks you will be laughing at this. There will also be people saying "I wish my car only had a little damage like that". The last time I bought a wing, it cost me a fiver! Good luck mate.

Yes quite easily if we could get together you could have it for a tenner and I'd help you do it

[spacekid2009]

try these www.vauxhallspares.co.uk and www.megavaux.co.uk they may have what you need

[Marks DTM Calib]

To make a projector hid, you need to swap the internal lense assembly over as well as the bulb and ballast etc.

Not to big a job.

The front lenses are the same from a design perspective but, they have different markings on (not a big issue)

What are the differences between them Mark?

so i could buy the one of ebay, or the one Welung666 has then swap the parts of mine? the intenal lens assembly is broken on my light but the lens bulb ect is still in one pieces! (well two pieces)

[Welung666]

The indicator part is seperate and I have self adhesive mirror film, we could repair the reflector. If you can't get down then post it and I'll swop it all for you

Im not 100% on my colour code the only number i can match on my vin is 34L? which makes it 20H/34L,36U: Nocturno Blau Met [Bertone] (99-) ive taken a photo of my vin plate but im not sure if its safe to put a pic up on the web?

[spacekid2009]

you'll have a job getting an exact match t b h, even if you got the bits from a car that was on the same production line as yours in the same colour, the paint fades and weathers differently on all cars, depends on how they been looked after, where they been parked, exposed to adverse weather conditions and so on, so you might get the same colour parts, but theres a chance that they may be a shade out when you fit them to yours, let me know if you need any help with anything. Ray.

will do m8

im gonna start phoning round tommorow and see what i can lay my hands on ive got a good few places thx to the peeps on here
just want to make sure im asking for the correct colour?

[Agemo]

34L is Nocturno Blue all right, I would not put up your VIN number. I do appreciate paint fades & you may not get a 100% perfect match, but dark colours like yours are pretty good for matching up. All three panels you need could be fitted, & resprayed when time & finances allow.
